Comment: I have noticed a difference in sadness and irritability, but also a PROFOUND lack of interest in sex. Coming from someone who was generally a 6x a week person now I have desire for only once or twice a week. Not a huge problem for me.. but my boyfriend is a little annoyed.

Comment: It seemed to work, but I also occasionaly had thoughts of suicide. I would never do it, but it ocaasionally crossed my mind in my thoughts. I don't know if this was from the drug itself or because I was in a deep depression from my current divorce. It's hard to say.

Comment: I've been on this medication for about a year. My moods have mellowed, which has been GREAT. Prior to using the medication, I would get depressed for weeks/months and couldn't deal stress but now I don't have the extreme lows (highs & lows). It keeps me on an even keel.
I also had a bit of anxiety going into public places where there were large groups like bars or parties. Now,

I also had a bit of anxiety going into public places where there were large groups like bars or parties. Now, I don't feel so fearful. The difference is I may not like to go BUT I GO, rather than sit home.
I recommend it for all to try. ONLY side effect I noticed was 20 lb weight gain & not being able to lose it even when I am eating right and going to the gym.

Comment: I started on 50 mg and that didn't seem to be quite enough--I am switching from the generic form of Celexa because there has been more testing done with Zoloft and it's generic form Sertraline during pregnancy; my husband and I are trying to start a family. My doctor raised the dosage to 100 mg and that has been very good with the depression symptoms but now I've had terrible diarrhea

Comment:I started on 50 mg and that didn't seem to be quite enough--I am switching from the generic form of Celexa because there has been more testing done with Zoloft and it's generic form Sertraline during pregnancy; my husband and I are trying to start a family. My doctor raised the dosage to 100 mg and that has been very good with the depression symptoms but now I've had terrible diarrhea for the last 2 weeks. The doctor told me to decrease the dosage again to 50 mg but I'm afraid that the depression symptoms will come back. Does anyone have advice for dealing with the diarrhea? Does it go away?Hide Full Comment

Comment:I have been taking this medicine for four months now. I am taking it to treat my depression and panic attacks, which I started having when was 13 years old, after trying to cope with my anxiety with "mind over matter" after 6 years I was tried. I began this medicine after horrible depression that lasted longer than normal. Being 18 and on anti- depressants was a little frightening at first, but I am extremely happy with my decision to get on them. I'm actually kinda of disappointed I didn't start them sooner. I have a few side effects: nausea, and loss of appetite, but totally worth it! I recommend this for anyone who is qualified and sick of constantly struggling to cope with the disorders. I hope it works for you as well as it did for me!!!!Hide Full Comment
